For the last four years, basically since when we moved back from Ireland, Alf and I have been celebrating the first days of Autumn going somewhere in the woods or visiting a park nearby, feeding the squirrels and enjoying a lazy afternoon by the lake. Last sunday it was the perfect day to renew our own little tradition, so we jumped in the car and went to the Royal Park of Racconigi, a huge, peaceful place close to Turin that last year was even honored with the prize of most beautiful park in Italy.

Sometimes there's even some horse-drawn carriages passing by, I love that as it kind of feels like traveling through time.

I look forward to going back there in November, when the trees will all be gorgeously painted in red and gold.
